The best place to farm lesser bombs in chapter 3:

Lesser fire bomb - Fire Camp

Lesser water bomb - Shiva's Wall

These are better than the ones listed by far - guaranteed 4 bombs and often more.

 * I don't think Valor Hill is a very good place to farm Lesser Earth Bombs... maybe it should be blank until someone finds a better spot.
 * I like Valor Hill because you (or at least I) will always fight 2 Lesser Earth Bombs in the 4th/final fight (along with a Fire Sorcerer), so it's got a low Stamina Cost and your always going to see at least one. Vercanos (talk) 20:21, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * I guess the other areas had 4 or more, which made them more lucrative. Earth bombs are basically the only ones I am having trouble farming due to the inefficient area :( Katie

 * Is there a particular reason that Shrine of Trials: Adventurers' Shrine is the best place to farm those 4 healer abilities? I played around a bit, and it seemed that any of the 4-stamina spots (which was basically all of the ones I went to, along the track) on the upper portion of the map gave these drops. Actually, all of those upper areas were better, because there was often 3 mobs instead of the 1 I'd find in the Adventurers' Shrine... which I am guessing is going to give me 3x the drop chances if I'm trying to level up all 4 of them? Or is there something hidden about Adventurers' Shrine that makes it better? Katie
 * We're not entirely sure how drop rate is determined, I chose Adventures' Shrine because (in my experience) you'll always encounter 1 of the Golden Grudges. Since you're only fighting one enemy, the battles go by fast so more chances to get a successful drop. This is all moot anyways, since the Golden Grudges can be found in El Dorado, once I've gotten through all of that region on the site, I'll change Adventures' Shrine to another location. If you'd like to help out with recording where things drop, I've gotten a Google Sheet that I record information here.
 * I think the whole upper area is worth farming honestly. In some cases (and it's random), you can get 2 grudges in one battle, which I guess makes it 2x as efficient a smaller % of the time. Also, the two Cure mages spawn as well, which don't spawn in Adventures' Shrine. For me, I augmented everything that can drop here, so for me, it has been worth farming all of it so I level all of the abilities that can drop here at the same time. Katie
 * Well part of the reason is that it has the lowest types of enemies that can be encountered. All of the Upper Section except Adventures' Shrine you can encounter all 6 enemies. In Adventures' Shrine you can only encounter Grudge Brigand, Magus and General. So if you are farming one of those, it's probably the best spot because you have the highest chance of encountering one of those (33%) instead of 16% for 1 enemy or 30% for 2. Either way I'm swapping out Shrine of Trials for El Dorado in the next two days.
 * In every situation, when a lower type of enemy is encountered, at least one Grudge also spawns... so it's really no worse than Adventures' Shrine - only better. In cases like SE Halls of Feats, 2 Grudge's spawn almost all of the time.

Just a heads-up that some of the card links need to be changed (I don't have the permission to make changes here). These can be found in the "Support Abilities" section, in the "Summoned Card" row, including Chariot, Gnome, Brynhildr, Pixie, etc.. Moodflow (talk) 13:26, 18 October 2016 (UTC)

Discovery: Novice Shrine of Trial areas the BEST for farming Cure, Brave, etc.

Cure = Shrine of Trials - SW Guilded Halls (2-3 spawning in most runs)

Brave = Any of the Novice areas. Katie

Has anyone actually been able to farm Quake Bombs in Hunter Island's Sharkfin Pass? I've spent a Lot of time there trying to get one but not a single has ever dropped in the 3 hours I spent trying to get the card, yet I was able to get one, after getting tired of trying there, on Earth Farmlands in ch3. Maybe it was just bad luck but I thought you guys might want to consider changing the location in case it doesn't really drop as easy as this guide lead me to believe.
 * Sounds like exceptionally bad luck. I was able to farm up the other Bombs in their respective "full of bombs" stage so I can't see Quake Bombs being worse.
 * Well, the lesser bombs did drop, but the big bombs did not. Yet they dropped easily on earth farmlands.

I noticed that the best farming locations for the Liches (Imperial, Didactic, and Miasmatic) are currently the Master's Arena from Chapter 2. I feel like since they appear as Wandering Bosses in the the second exploration area: El Dorado, and it might be a better place to farm them. I've never farmed them before, but using 3-5 stamina per wandering boss seems better than spending 28 stamina for Master's Arena for a chance to meet one of the three. Does anyone have objections if I changed the location? Celaeris (talk) 23:49, 22 November 2016 (UTC)

Pretty much only place I could find to farm Dark Sword is Mogheim (both Dust Soldier and Dust Warrior). I was getting about 1 per 2 runs, not great but every other suggested place I saw (google query) only gave me 1 in about 10-20 runs. It also gives various other single target abilities (Light Sword being one), so if you have a few to farm it is pretty decent collectively.
